The Master of Research qualifies individuals who apply an advanced body of knowledge in a range of contexts for research and scholarships and as a pathway for further research.A research degree is an advanced study program that gives you an opportunity to deeply explore a topic of your choice ...

This unit draws together theoretical and clinical concepts related to legal and ethical responsibilities, quality and safety measures, advanced diagnostic reasoning and clinical decision-making models based on knowledge and evidence, in the care of individuals in a variety of settings. This course enables the further development of clinical reasoning skills through analysis of evidence-based...

Discrete mathematics is an important part of every mathematician's armoury: from simple counting, recurrence relations and more advanced combinatorics to graph theory and network analysis: anywhere there are discrete objects and structures, their enumeration and analysis is the domain of discrete mathematics. This Honours-level unit is offered subject to student numbers with contributions from a...

“Mathematics Is Biology's Next Microscope, Only Better; Biology Is Mathematics' Next Physics, Only Better” - Joel E Cohen (2004) The topics covered in this unit may differ slightly from year to year based on staff availability and students’ interests. Topics will be broadly chosen from applications of mathematics (and statistics) to solve problems in evolution and ecology. For example,...

The unit provides students with the fundamental basis of physiology and nutrition, and how they interact to control growth and metabolism, reproduction, osmoregulation and welfare of aquatic animals. The applied relationships between nutrition and feeding behaviour, feed formulation, physiology and biochemistry of aquatic animals is explored and their role in the production of aquaculture...

In this unit you will gain a comprehensive understanding of animal physiology and behaviour with a focus on ectothermic vertebrates that live in wet places. We will learn about the different strategies that aquatic animals employ to breathe, move, regulate, grow, reproduce and survive in changing and/or extreme environments. We will discuss the implications of anthropogenic change and use modern...

Bachelor of Architecture and Built Environments Architecture Technology units focus on establishing key concepts and principles related to the physical facts of architecture and human experience of these facts. At Intermediate level, these units develop focused knowledge and skills at key intersections between materiality and human inhabitation. This unit is part of a suite of four units in the...

As a carbon accountant, your choices about reporting frameworks can greatly impact business’ climate strategies and their ability to reduce emissions. With the global climate policy environment in constant flux, it’s crucial that you have a deep understanding of these factors and how they impact climate accounting and business decision-making. This unit is designed to give you the knowledge...

Toxicology is the study of the harmful effects of chemicals (including drugs) and other agents on living organisms. This on-campus unit introduces you to the key concepts of toxicology, and how, in terms of dose/exposure, toxicology is an extension of pharmacology. Studies in this unit cover general principles of toxicology, pre-clinical and cell-based mechanisms of toxicology, relationships...

This unit will consolidate and build on research skills that have been developed in first units within the Bachelor of Medical Research and will cover the principles of research design and analysis, ethics in medical research, scientific controversy, scientific critique and scientific communication. This unit will allow students to develop these skills in a collaborative and supportive...
